As you are no doubt aware, being transgender is a choice that some people make. Everyone has different reasons for making this choice and here are mine:

1. By the standards of men’s heights, I’m only considered somewhat tall. By women’s standards, however, I’m quite tall.

2. I so much prefer to use my hands and mouth for sex over my penis that I would like to remove the option entirely.

3. Attention; I could think of literally no other way to get attention from people.

4. Growing up secretly straight in a homosexual culture, I am willing to change my gender so that my attraction to women will meet society’s standards.

5. I can get a discount on drinks at bars I would never go to.

6. Despite being married, I so wholeheartedly despise the institution that I would like for it to be illegal for me.

7. I’m not attracted to men, but I would like for them to stare at me and yell lewd comments.

8. I would prefer to use one type of generally disgusting public restroom over the other type of generally disgusting public restroom.

9. A legacy; Everyone knows that the accomplishments of intelligent men are historically overshadowed by the accomplishments of their female peers.

10. I might make less money for doing the same work, which would be a great incentive to work harder.

So, for these reasons, I am willing to alienate those close to me, face potential divorce, take hormones which could have an adverse effect on my body, and spend about $50,000 on the cost of transition. Yeah, clearly this was a choice in which I weighed the costs against the benefits and sided with the more beneficial option.
